Again, not mine!!!
I was surprised that not many people were at the café besides an occasional student looking for a book no doubt. Beth was behind the counter, her belly bulging as well.
"Beth, hi!" I greeted, trying to disguise my displeasure.
Beth grinned at me and then frowned.
"HI, have you heard any news about Sheridan? I'm so worried about her and Luis. I want Luis to be in my life when this baby is born, and I don't want to have him worrying and thinking about Sheridan all the time."
I nodded in agreement. If Charity would have disappeared, Miguel would have been thinking of nothing but her, he wouldn't be thinking of me and the baby.
"So how is the pregnancy going? Are you feeling it move and kick?" I asked excitedly.
Beth looked radiant, "Oh yes, I just felt it move earlier this morning."
"Me too! Isn't this going to be exciting? You, me, Gwen and Sheridan, all pregnant at the same time! Isn't that going to be something?"
Beth looked down and frowned.
"Any way, I assume you are here for your paycheck!"
My smile faltered when she changed the subject so abruptly. I nodded about the paycheck. "Why of course. Beth, tell me, exactly how much did I earn this month?"
She gave me a face that basically said " Don't Push It." and she handed me the glorious piece of paper.
I read it aloud: "Pay to the order of Kay Bennett, five hundred dollars and eighty-nine cents?! Beth.YOU RULE! I love you!!!!"
She chuckled. "I'm not that nice. I payed you one hundred dollars in advance.I'm expecting for you to work extremely hard when I'm away. I'm due before you, remember? You at least have a month left before you give birth."
We ended the conversation due to a needy customer who didn't know how to use the cappacino machine.
"Oh god, I'll be right over to help you with that!" Beth cried as the woman looked desperately over at Beth as the hot liquid spurted all over the floor.
I collected the rest of my things and headed over to the bank. I wanted to get this check cashed and fast. This book.it was calling my name.
"Kay.Kay.."
It started to get really stuffy. I watched a couple walk past me, they were staring at me.
"Kay.Kay."
"I'm coming book!"
Everything around me started to spin.I saw shades of red, blue, white and then I felt like I was falling...was I dreaming? I could have sworn that blur looked like Miguel.
"Kay!"
"Miguel." I whispered as everything around me stopped spinning. I felt myself fall on the hard pavement with "whump" as everything in my world turned to darkness.
